what is PTSD & trauma? where does it come from?
who has is? symptoms? how can I recognize it?
What is
PTSD
and Trauma?
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.
Trauma can be emotional, psychological, or physical, and its effects can persist long after the event has passed.
Individuals with PTSD often re-live their trauma through flashbacks, nightmares, or intense emotional and physical reactions.
Their whole somatic nervous sytem gets overwhelmed, the Fight, Flight, Fear, Fawn-response kicks in.
Understanding the complexities of PTSD and trauma is crucial for both sufferers and their loved ones.
It’s important to recognize that trauma affects individuals differently, and responses to trauma can manifest in many ways.
6 Common Symptoms of PTSD and Trauma
• Intrusive memories, such as flashbacks or nightmares. (Un)related to the trauma
• Avoidance of places, people, or activities that remind the person of the trauma
• Negative changes in thinking and mood, such as hopelessness or detachment
• Physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or chronic pain
• Hyperarousal, including being easily startled or having difficulty sleeping
• Difficulty concentrating or feeling disconnected from reality. Feeling emotionally numb.
• Avoiding reminders of the trauma.
These can also be persons, feelings, situations, objects, places, certatin thoughts, smells, kinaestehtic sensations etc.
Why People Suffer from PTSD & Trauma
PTSD can arise from various traumatic experiences such as combat, abuse, accidents, or disasters. Individuals might feel a loss of control, helplessness, or overwhelming fear during these events, which can leave lasting emotional scars.
Military Veterans, First Responders, Medical Staff, Victims of Abuse or Violence: these are vulnerable persons to developing a trauma response. The emotional impact of experiencing trauma often includes feelings of shame, guilt, and isolation.
Children exposed to traumatic events – whether abuse, neglect, or witnessing violence – can also develop PTSD.
In this case it is important to help them as soon as possible to avoid further negstive emotional & physical consequences.
How Do You Know If Someone Has PTSD?
Recognizing PTSD in a loved one can be challenging, as symptoms might not always be obvious.
However, common indicators include mood swings, emotional outbursts, social withdrawal, and increased anxiety or fear in response to triggers.
Also persistent feelings of fear, anger, or guilt or so-called “hypervigilance” (feeling constantly “on edge”) might indicate a trauma response.
It’s essential to seek professional help if these signs persist.
Educate yourself about trauma & PTSD, offer your help if they are ready – not before.
Heal all trauma bonds and do not dive into the world of emotional and/or physical pain with them.
Set healthy, living & respectful boundries.
Emotional & Psychological Trauma?
Emotional and psychological trauma refers to damage to the mind caused by distressing events. It affects how a person processes emotions, thoughts, and relationships. Trauma can result from one-time events like accidents or ongoing situations such as abuse. The impact can range from mild distress to severe, long-lasting psychological effects.
SEVERAL Signs & Symptoms of Trauma
• Emotional numbness or detachment
• Anxiety, depression, or feelings of helplessness
• Difficulty forming or maintaining relationships
• Physical symptoms like fatigue, headaches, or digestive issues
Does My Loved ONE SUFFER FROM PTSD OR TRAUMA?
If your loved one frequently avoids certain activities, has nightmares, or becomes easily upset in stressful situations, they might be dealing with PTSD.
It’s important to approach the topic with sensitivity and support, encouraging them to seek help without pressuring them.

And what you definitely should consider doing for yourself – more tips.
DO’s
if you want to help
loved ones with PTSD
Educate Yourself About PTSD
Learn about PTSD symptoms, triggers, and treatment options to better understand what your loved one is going through.
Be Patient and Understanding
Recovery from PTSD takes time, and your loved one may experience setbacks. Offer consistent support without pressuring them to “get better” quickly.
• Talk to them about symptoms you observe – if they are ready. This will hep you to understand their issues and what they struggle with.
• Be supportive and show empathy – validate their feelings.
• Do not try to “fix” things. Be there for them – literally but set healthy boundries where necessary.
Create a Safe and Supportive Environment
Ensure your loved one feels safe and secure at home. Help reduce stress by creating a calm, stable environment and avoiding unnecessary conflicts.
Listen Without Judgment
Encourage them to share their feelings if they are comfortable, and listen empathetically without giving unsolicited advice or minimizing their experience.
Help Them Avoid Triggers
Work with your loved one to identify and avoid triggers that may cause flashbacks or heightened anxiety.
Encourage Professional Help
Support them in seeking treatment, whether it’s therapy, hypnotherapy, or other PTSD-specific interventions. Offer to help find therapists or drive them to appointments.
Maintain Your Own Well-being
Supporting someone with PTSD can be emotionally exhausting. Ensure you take care of your mental and physical health, seek support for yourself, and set healthy boundaries when needed.
Be Consistent and Reliable
Provide consistent emotional support, whether by checking in regularly or simply being present during difficult moments.
Respect Their Need for Space
Understand that people with PTSD may need time alone to process their emotions. Respect their need for space without taking it personally.
Encourage Positive Coping Strategies
Help your loved one engage in activities that promote relaxation, such as mindfulness, physical exercise, or hobbies that reduce stress.
When violence is involved:
Get out of the situation asap and help the find professional support – when they are ready.
DON’TS
if you want to help
loved ones with PTSD
Never Force Them to Talk About the Trauma
Pressuring your loved one to share details of their trauma before they are ready can lead to distress and worsen symptoms. Let them open up in their own time.
Avoid Minimizing Their Experience
Saying things like “It’s not a big deal” or “Just move on” invalidates their feelings and can make them feel misunderstood or unsupported.
Don’t Take Their Symptoms Personally
PTSD can cause irritability, emotional withdrawal, or mood swings. Remember that these reactions are symptoms of the condition and not a reflection of their feelings toward you.
Do not get caught up in trauma bonding
If you feel deeply conflicted or overly attached despite unhealthy dynamics, it’s important to assess whether trauma bonding might be influencing your relationship. Do not disregard this dynamic but ssek help for both of you.
Never Push Them to “Get Over It” Quickly
Recovery from PTSD is a long process, and pushing someone to “get better” or expecting immediate improvement can create additional pressure and slow down progress.
Don’t Trigger Their PTSD Deliberately
Avoid exposing them to situations, places, or conversations that could trigger their trauma response. Even well-intentioned efforts to “face their fears” without professional guidance can be harmful.
Don’t Dismiss or Ignore Their Symptoms
Ignoring or downplaying their anxiety, flashbacks, or nightmares can cause your loved one to feel isolated and unsupported.
Never Try to “Fix” Them on Your Own
While your support is valuable, you are not a substitute for professional help. Don’t take on the role of therapist or think that you can single-handedly “cure” their PTSD.
Avoid Losing Patience
Frustration with their progress (or lack thereof) can harm your relationship and hinder their recovery. Try to stay patient and offer consistent, gentle support.
Don’t Use Guilt or Manipulation
Guilt-tripping or manipulating them into certain actions, like attending social events or engaging in activities they’re not ready for, can deepen their distress.
Never Ignore Your Own Boundaries
While it’s important to support them, neglecting your own needs and boundaries can lead to burnout. Take care of your well-being to ensure you can provide long-term support.
WHAT YOU SHOULD
DO FOR YOURSELF
if you want to help
loved ones with PTSD
Prioritize Self-Care
Make time for activities that recharge you, such as exercise, hobbies, or quiet moments for yourself. Self-care is essential for managing the stress of supporting someone with PTSD.
Set Healthy Boundaries
Establish clear boundaries to protect your emotional and mental health. It’s okay to say no when you feel overwhelmed, and it’s important to communicate your limits respectfully. Do not get caught up in the world of trauma of your loved one.
Seek Your Own Support
Join support groups for families of PTSD survivors, or speak to a therapist to help you process your feelings. It’s crucial to have a space where you can express your emotions and receive guidance.
Educate Yourself About PTSD
Learning about PTSD can help you better understand your loved one’s behavior and avoid taking their actions personally. Knowledge will help you provide better support while protecting your emotional health.
Acknowledge Your Own Emotions
Supporting someone with PTSD can evoke feelings of frustration, sadness, or helplessness. Recognize these emotions and allow yourself to process them without guilt.
Take Breaks When Needed
It’s okay to step away temporarily when you feel emotionally drained. Taking a break allows you to recharge and come back with a clearer mindset and renewed energy to support your loved one.
Practice Mindfulness and Stress-Reduction Techniques
Engage in activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness can improve your resilience in emotionally challenging situations.
Maintain Your Social Life
Don’t neglect your friendships or personal relationships. Staying connected with friends and family outside of the PTSD caregiving role can provide emotional balance and support.
Focus on What You Can Control
Accept that you can’t “fix” your loved one’s PTSD. Focus on what is within your control—offering support, being patient, and taking care of yourself.
Be Kind to Yourself
Remember that you are doing your best, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. Practice self-compassion and avoid being too hard on yourself.
Check If There Is Any Trauma Bonding Left
Trauma bonding occurs when emotional attachment develops through repeated cycles of abuse, fear, and power imbalance. In this case seek help for yourself and think of helping you first.
what to say someone
suffering from trauma
or PTSD
It can be difficult to know what to say to someone with PTSD. Showing empathy and understanding is crucial. You could say something like:
“I understand that you’ve been through something really difficult. I’m here for you, and I want to support you in whatever way I can.”
Avoid asking “why” questions, as they may come across as blaming or pressuring the person to explain themselves when they may not fully understand their feelings.
are you already beyond the first steps of managing PTSD?
If your loved one has already sought help but hasn’t seen improvements, it may be time to explore alternative treatment methods.
Sometimes traditional therapies, like CBT, are not enough to address deep-seated trauma.
That’s where more innovative approaches, like the supraliminal hypnosis, come into play.
Be patient – healing takes some time and every person is different in their resilience and healing capabilities.
If all four suggestions are already on their way you are definitely on a good track to overcoming th PTSD.

3. how to deal with
a mental crisis situation?
tipps to manage your psyche.
what are
psychosomatic problems?
how to deal with it?
When we face intense stress or trauma, our body often reacts through physical symptoms – these are called psychosomatic problems. Headaches, stomach issues, muscle tension, or unexplained chronic pain can be signs that your body is trying to process unhealed emotional wounds. Here are some first steps to consider:
Acknowledge the Connection:
Understand that your body and mind are closely linked – stress and trauma also manifest physically.
Seek Professional Guidance:
No matter if you seek help here or somewhere else. A trauma-informed therapist or a hypnotherapist can help you understand and overcoming the root causes of your symptoms.
Practice Gentle Self-Care:
Techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, or light physical activity can offer initial relief and reduce stress.
Explore Holistic Approaches: Hypnotherapy, such as the methods we offer, can address both the emotional and physical aspects of trauma.
Hospital stay:
yes or no?
Here are some key considerations for deciding whether a hospital stay might be necessary or not::
Immediate Safety
If you feel like you’re a danger to yourself or others, a hospital stay may provide a safe space to stabilize and receive care.
Intensive Support
Hospitals can offer intensive therapies and monitoring for those in acute distress. If your family is already exhausted, your care takers are close to a burn out it might be time to consider help through professionals.
Evaluate Immediate Needs
If you’re experiencing severe symptoms – such as persistent flashbacks, self-harming urges, or overwhelming anxiety – a hospital stay might offer the structured support you need. Additionally you also find the medical support there, just in case you might need it.
Outpatient Options
If you prefer to stay in your own environment, outpatient therapies, like hypnotherapy or counseling, can be a less invasive alternative. Online possibilities are especially helpful if you have troubles leaving your home easily.
Take care of your needs
Trust your feelings – what environment feels right for you at this stage of healing? A hospital stay is just one of many paths to recovery.
Talk to a Trusted Professional
Speaking with a therapist or counselor about your options can clarify whether an inpatient setting might be beneficial or if outpatient care could be just as effective.
Consider Stability and Routine
Hospitals provide a structured environment, which can be comforting if you’re struggling with daily routines or finding it hard to function at home.
Reflect on Your Comfort & Security Level
Think about where you feel safest. Some people feel more secure in a supportive home environment, while others find peace in a clinical setting with intensive care.
Seek a Second Opinion
If you’re unsure, consider reaching out for a second opinion from a different mental health professional, as this can provide a fresh perspective on your needs.
Know Your Alternatives
Hospital stays aren’t the only option. Outpatient programs, therapy, support groups, or hypnotherapy can also offer intensive support without requiring a full-time commitment.
The first steps out of
the negative spiral
Finding the first steps out of a negative spiral can feel daunting, but small changes already make a big difference!
Be patient with yourself, and give yourself all the care, love and compassion you deserve. Because you are worth it.
Reach Out for Help
Speaking to a professional or a trusted friend can be the first step towards feeling less alone.
Break Tasks into Small Steps
Focus on manageable actions, like making an appointment, practicing a relaxation technique, or simply going outside for a few minutes.
Challenge Negative Thoughts
Try to replace harsh self-criticism with kinder, more compassionate thoughts.
Focus on the Present Moment
Mindfulness exercises can help ground you when anxiety about the past or future takes over.
Set Small, Realistic Goals
Aim for one achievable goal each day, no matter how small. This could be as simple as drinking a glass of water or taking a short walk.
Prioritize Rest and Sleep
Quality sleep is essential for mental health. Try establishing a calming evening routine to improve your rest.
Limit Exposure to Stressors
Take a break from news, social media, or other stress-inducing sources. Allow yourself moments of peace and calm.
Practice Kindness Toward Yourself
Remind yourself that healing takes time. Practice speaking kindly to yourself, as you would to a friend.
Engage in Gentle Movement
Physical activity, even if it’s just stretching or a short walk, can help release tension and improve mood.
Find Joy in Simple Activities
Small moments, like enjoying a warm cup of tea or listening to soothing music, can help shift focus away from negative thoughts.
Consider Journaling
Writing down thoughts, feelings, or small victories can be therapeutic and helps track your progress.
Explore Creative Outlets
Art, music, or any form of creative expression can help process emotions in a non-verbal way and offer relief.
Already on the road
to recovery?
Most importantly you have to know: Taking the first steps towards healing, is already your road to recovery! It might be a different path than you’d expect but simply doing the first step is the secret to success.
Recovery is not a straight line, and setbacks are part of the journey. Always remember to celebrate your progress, no matter how small it may seem!
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Reflect on Your Progress
Take a moment to recognize the positive changes you’ve made so far, even if they’re small.
Stay Connected
Surround yourself with supportive people who understand your journey.
Keep Exploring Healing Methods
As you progress, consider integrating new approaches, like self-hypnosis or group sessions, to deepen your healing.
Self-Compassion & Self Love
Being kind to yourself is key in recovery. Treat yourself with patience and encouragement, especially during difficult days.
Embrace Setbacks as Part of Growth
Healing isn’t a straight line, and occasional setbacks don’t mean failure. Each experience offers a lesson and an opportunity to strengthen your resilience.
Celebrate Small Wins
Take time to recognize even the smallest victories. Whether it’s completing a daily task or experiencing a moment of calm, every positive step is a sign of progress.
Stay Curious
Recovery can open doors to new interests and methods, new hobbies, new relations, to a new higher purpose or new ideas. Stay open to exploring what feels right for you.
Seek Community
Support groups or online communities can provide comfort, inspiration, and understanding from people on similar journeys. Sharing your experiences can remind you that you’re not alone.
Reflect on Your Goals and Values
As you heal, your goals and perspectives may shift. Regularly reflect on what matters most to you and how recovery is helping you grow toward a fulfilling life.
Reconnect with Purpose: Find activities or causes that bring meaning to your life, whether it’s a hobby, volunteering, or spending time in nature. Purpose can anchor and uplift you on your journey.
You have PTSD, suffer from trauma
but have no desires for changes yet?
Do’s and Don’ts of managing your own a mental crisis, no matter if it is PTSD, trauma or something else.
First steps to evaluate the situation. Note: a lot is similar to the Do’s & Don’ts of your loved ones: Learn to take care of yourself optimally!
DO’s
if you Have PTSD
Get to know yourself better
Learn about PTSD symptoms, triggers, and treatment options to better understand what you possibly are going through.
Always be kind to yourself
Recovery from PTSD takes time, and you may experience setbacks. Seek support, without overwhelming your loved ones. Find a way to communicate with them – through words, gestures, a letter… If there is noboday there write a diary or letters to your future self that successfully overcame your issues and can tell you about your positive future.
Helpful communication
Listen to your loved ones when they talk about symptoms they observe you miss on yourself. If you are not ready for such a conversation, ask them to postpone it to the time when you are.
This will hep them to understand your issues and what you struggle with. On the other hand they might help you to understand yourself better and open up for the changes you might need.
No excuses & no “learned helplessness”
It’s nice when your loved ones always validate your feelings and show you empathy. But do not get stuck in this cozy cycle for too long: Seek actively for help that you need, listen to your body, soul, mind and heart what it is that could help you. All answers and solutions are already in your body, although you definitely do not feel like it right now. Learn to help yourself through the support of experts and experts tools, like supraliminal hypnosis, EMDR or other methods.
If it is simply too much
In case you are overwhelmed let others help you and accept this help – so that you are finally able to help yourself in this process.
Set healthy boundries to others where necessary. If you are not ready to talk yet, it’s fine and has to be accepted by your loved ones. But also do not overstep healthy boundries when you are triggered.
If there is violence in the game
If your triggers activate violent behavior within you get out of the situation asap(!) and seek help immediately!! Desecalate the situation by stepping out of it, with draw and practice your learned emergency skills. Take safety precautions before you are triggered.
Seek help as soon as possible, especially if you would not only harm objects but yourself or other people! If you did not seek help yet then this is the absolut last(!) serious clue to definitely do so now. Stop finding excuses for this behavior and start to accept responsibility for your onw well-being as well as for your loved ones and people around you.
Do – additional to your treatment – anti agression programs or any other kind of work that helps you to control violent outbursts.
Discover helpful copying strategies
Learn creative copying strategies how to overcome inner negative impulses or triggers, learn to get to know these triggers and actively reduce rep. avoid them as long as you are still in the healing phase. Make different relaxation methods a habit like tooth brushin – such as mindfulness, self hypnosis, meditation, singing, painting, playing, fishing, gardening, physical exercise, or all other hobbies that reduce stress.
Create a Safe and Supportive Environment
Ensure you (and your loved ones) feel safe and secure at home. Reduce stress by creating a calm, stable environment. Avoid unnecessary conflicts. Find a healthy daily routine that helps you calm down, relax and feel as happy as possible.
Seek empathic active listernes
Look out for empathic human beings, who are able to listen to your thoughts, emotions and feelings in a non judgemental way, without giving unsolicited advice or minimizing your experience.
Actively seek to reduce negative triggers
Work with your loved ones to identify, reduce and/or avoid negative triggers that may cause flashbacks or heightened anxiety. Install positive triggers and seek actively healthy dopamine heightening, rewarding behavior and activities (healthy nutrition, good sleep, exercise, being in nature, hobbies and activities you love etc.)
Seek Professional Help
Seek actively treatment, whether it’s therapy, hypnotherapy, or other PTSD-specific interventions. Ask your loved ones for help finding therapists or driving you to appointments.
Maintain Your Own Well-being
Suffering from PTSD is emotionally exhausting. Ensure you take care of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Seek support for yourself, and set healthy boundaries when needed. Open up for help if it serves your highest good.
Seek a Consistent and Reliable Environment
Find consistent emotional support, whether by being checked in regularly or simply by a loved one being present during difficult moments you might experience.
Demand Respect For Your Need for Space
People with PTSD may need more time alone to process their emotions than others. Communicate openly about this need and ask your loved ones to respect your desire for space without them taking it personally. Be grateful for considerate behavior and show/articulate your gratefulness towards them. If possible show them your affections when you are having a better phase and are capeable of it.
DON’TS
if you Have PTSD
Only talk about your trauma if this feels right for you
Share details of an experienced trauma before one is ready can lead to distress and worsen symptoms. Find your own time, if and when you want to open up – especially with whome you want to do this.
Only listen to “safe” people
Avoid people who are minimizing your experience: Saying things like “It’s not a big deal” or “Just move on” might invalidate your feelings or easily make you feel misunderstood or unsupported. Set healthy boundries in this case and choose a “safe” person to talk to instead. Make superficial conversation or get politely out of the situation with the “unsafe” person. Which persons are emotionally unsafe? When explaining your feelings and that minimizing your feelings do hurt you even more, safe persons will understand this, they will probably even apologize to you. Unsafe people will not listen to you and can’t adept their behavior.
Don’t Take The Reactions of your loved ones to Your Symptoms Personally – stay in continuous non-violent communication instead
PTSD can cause irritability, emotional withdrawal, and/or mood swings, or other problems. In yourself but also in your loved ones.
Additionally remember that these reactions might be symptoms of the condition you are in – but still you could have hurt unintentionally the feelings of your loved ones.
They are only human beings as well and being in a relationshio with a PTSD client demands a lot from your loved ones.
Both your behavior and the reaction of xour loved ones might not reflect both of your real feelings towards each other.
Seek in this case external help to resolve unhealthy relationship patterns and do not stop to communicate regularely over the shared hardships-
Always remember: as long as the probem is beside both of you and not in between you – both of you are able to overcome it together. Do not let it come in between both of you.
Do not get caught up in trauma bonding
If you feel deeply conflicted or overly attached despite unhealthy dynamics, it’s important to assess whether trauma bonding might be influencing your relationship. Do not disregard this dynamic but seek help for both of you.
Never Push Yourself to “Get Over It” Quickly
Recovery from PTSD is a long process, and pushing oneself to “get better” fast or expecting immediate improvement can create additional pressure on yourself and slow down progress.
Don’t Trigger Your PTSD Deliberately
Avoid exposing you to situations, places, or conversations that could trigger your trauma response. Even well-intentioned efforts to “face their fears” without professional guidance can be harmful. Do this intentionally only in consultation with your therapist.
Don’t Dismiss or Ignore Your Symptoms
Ignoring or downplaying anxiety, flashbacks, or nightmares can cause you to feel even more lonely, “different”, isolated and unsupported.
Never expect your partner to be your therapist
While your partner’s support is valuable, they are not a substitute for professional help. Don’t force them into the role of a therapist or think that they can single-handedly “cure” your PTSD. Take over responsibility for it and accept your partners’ help on this way gratefully. Do not expect too much from them.
Avoid Losing Patience
Frustration with your own progress (or lack thereof) can harm your relationship to yourself, to your loved ones and hinder your recovery. Try to stay patient and accept consistent, gentle support ot your environment (if it is existent).
Don’t Fall Into the Trap of Guilt or Manipulation
Guilt-tripping or manipulating you into certain actions, like attending social events or engaging in activities you are not ready for, could deepen your distress. In this case politely decline, and explain this person your momentarily needs. Check out if this is a “safe” or “unsafe” person to talk to (see above) and act accordingly.
Never Ignore Your Own Boundaries
Take care of yourself and decide day by day what is possible and what isn’t.
You are the expert in your healing journey. Listen to your body, soul and mind and find out what it is that you need the most.
WHAT YOU ALWAYS SHOULD
DO FOR YOURSELF
When you Have PTSD
Prioritize Self-Care
Make time for activities that recharge you, such as exercise, hobbies, or quiet moments for yourself. Self-care is essential for managing the stress of dealing with PTSD & trauma.
Set and Accept Healthy Boundaries
Establish but also accept clear boundaries to protect your and your loeved ones emotional and mental health. It’s okay to say no when you feel overwhelmed, and it’s important to communicate your limits respectfully.
Do not get caught up in your momentarily world of trauma and try to visit your loved ones in their “normal” world as often as possible, even if it feels draining. Retrain your brain into normality but do not force it into it – keep things in balance.
Seek Your Support System
Join support groups of PTSD survivors, or speak to a therapist to help you process your feelings. It’s crucial to have a space where you can express your emotions and receive guidance. Find a go-to-person who feels safe and is capable of handling also your difficult phases.
Information & action is the key to success
Minimize your reactive behavior and strenghen your resilience through applying self help methods and taking on expert’s help.
Educate yourself not only about symptoms of PTSD but also especially about successfull new healing methods. Learn self hypnosis and other mind and behavior techniques. Activate your self-empowerment through seeking actively for information and applying whatever suits you best.
Acknowledge Your Own Emotions
Dealing with and healing from PTSD can evoke feelings of frustration, sadness, or helplessness. Recognize these emotions and allow yourself to process them without guilt. Stay on track of your healing path and practice gratefulness every day.
Take Breaks When Needed
It’s okay to step away temporarily when you feel emotionally drained. Taking a break allows you to recharge and come back with a clearer mindset and renewed energy.
Practice Mindfulness and Stress-Reduction Techniques
Engage in activities like (self) hypnosis, ji-gong, meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness can improve your resilience in emotionally challenging situations.
If you do not feel attracted to these methods use music, movement, somatic experiencing, massages, body talk, aromatic oils and fragrances, or anything else that helps you to relax and calm down.
Maintain Your Social Life
Don’t neglect your friendships or personal relationships s much as possible. Staying connected with friends and family can provide emotional balance and support. If you are not ready for it yet, explain them that you just need some time alone and you will be talking about it when time is ready. Ask them for their understanding and support – by simply accepting this withdrawal without any resentments or offense against you.
Focus on What You Can Control
Accept having PTSD and similarly let go of it. Focus on what is within your control – seeking for help and support, practicing actively what is helpful for you on a daily basis, being patient, and taking care of yourself.
Be Kind to Yourself
Remember that you are doing your best, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. Practice self-compassion and avoid being too hard on yourself.
Check If There Is Any Trauma Bonding Left
Trauma bonding occurs when unhealthy emotional attachment develops through repeated cycles of abuse, fear, and power imbalance and a relationship developed unhealthy patterns. Both partners/family members endure continuous severe arguments, suffering, emotional turmoil, emotional inbalance, abuse, violence, fights or any other kind of dangerous or (self) harming behavior in this relationship.
Very often partners or family members are trauma-bonded with someone who has PTSD.
Seek professional help if you feel this is the case asap – to find relief and help to get out of this situation.
